WORLD No.4 Andy Murray will bid to complete a stunning fightback today at the French Open when he resumes his last-16 clash with the ever-improving Viktor Troicki. Pre-match I would have taken British No.1 Murray to see off the world No.15 from Serbia comfortably, maybe giving up a set on the way to the quarters at Roland Garros. But the […]

THE quarter-finals of the French Open get underway today with world No.3 Roger Federer in action against home favourite Gael Monfils. Parisien Monfils, the world No.9, upset the form book and myself on Monday when he sent David Ferrer packing in a five-set thriller. Some you win some you lose. He will have the Roland Garros crowd cheering his every […]

BRITISH No.1 Andy Murray is back in action at the French Open on Thursday and should have few problems reaching round three in Paris. The Scot cruised to a 6-4 6-1 6-3 over French qualifier Eric Prodon on Tuesday and standing in his way today is Simone Bolelli of Italy. Murray and world No.126 Bolelli have met twice before, the […]

The French Open is up and running in Paris but the guys likely to be around the business end at Roland Garros won’t be out until Monday. All the talk going into the the second Grand Slam of 2011 surrounds world No.2 Novak Djokovic but I’m sticking with the tried and trusted player at the top of the men’s rankings, […]

PADDY POWER have pledged to refund all pre-match bets on England following their shock defeat to Ireland in the Cricket World Cup.

I […]

ROGER FEDERER is just one victory from his fifth Dubai Duty Free Tennis Championships title today – standing in his way is treble-chaser Novak Djokovic. Top seed Federer brought up my semi-final forecast with a straight-sets victory over Richard Gasquet yesterday. No.2 Djokovic was on course to bring up another Bonkers Bet only for Tomas Berdych to withdraw with an injury […]

RICHARD GASQUET had me making a racquet yesterday after he beat Gilles Simon 2-1 in Dubai – bringing up a fav 4-1 Bonkers Bet. Bookies had unseeded Gasquet as the 5-4 underdog against his fellow Frenchman (4-6) despite taking a 4-0 record into their quarter-final clash at the Dubai Duty Free Tennis Championships. I urged you to “get your money […]

TOP seed Roger Federer and defending champion Novak Djokovic are in action again today in the quarter-finals of the Dubai Duty Free Tennis Championships. I announced earlier this week that both are my tips to contest Sunday’s final and therefore I expect them to ease into the last four. No.2 seed Djokovic of Serbia, aiming for his third Dubai title […]

ANDY RODDICK and Milos Raonic were the bookies outsiders in Saturday’s Regions Morgan Keegan Championships in Memphis – but I predicted victories for both and I hope you took my advice. In my semi-final preview I told you top seed A-Rod was “an appealing 23-20 with Sportingbet” despite three defeats to the Juan Martin del Potro and he delivered with […]

STEPHEN MAGUIRE edged Mark Selby late on Saturday night to set up an all-Scottish final with John Higgins in the Welsh Open at the Newport Centre. My Bonkers Bet ahead of the semi-finals advised punters to get on the 9-4 for a Higgins/Maguire showdown and thanks to my fellow countrymen the bookies were left requiring snookers last night. Higgins was […]

No.1 seed Andy Roddick reached the semi-finals of the Regions Morgan Keegan Championships in Memphis with a three-set victory over Lleyton Hewitt. The American will now face his toughest test yet in the ATP500 event – the formidable figure of Argentine wildcard Juan Martin del Potro. Del Potro dumped Michael Russell for the loss of just six games and is […]

WELSH OPEN champion John Higgins booked his place in the semi-finals on Friday night courtesy of a 5-3 victory over home player Matthew Stevens in Newport.

The 10th Cricket World Cup begins early on Saturday and after much deliberation I’m going to stick with my first choice, Australia, to be crowned champions. Deliberation? Why? Well despite their status as third favourites, behind co-hosts India and Sri Lanka, and odds of 6-1 (Stan James), I was plumping for the reigning and four-time champions because of their impressive […]

CANADIAN wonderkid Milos Raonic grabbed his sixth win a row yesterday to book his place in today’s Regions Morgan Keegan Championships quarter-finals in Memphis. The 20-year-old won the San Jose Open on Sunday and after dumping runner-up Fernando Verdasco in the first round of this week’s ATP500 event he overcame Radek Stepanek on Thursday. Next up for Raonic, world No.59 […]

It’s quarter-final day at the Welsh Open with champion John Higgins in action against Matthew Stevens tonight. Scotland’s world No.1 Higgins was my pre-tournament tip, when he was available at 5-1, and while I expect he’s in for a tough match against Welshman Stevens I still fancy the three-time world champion to book his place in Saturday’s semi-finals. Higgins is […]

The remaining quarter-final spots are up for grabs today at the Wyldecrest Park Homes Welsh Open with crowd favourite Mark Williams among the early starters in Newport.

Juan Martin del Potro and John Isner will close out the first round of the Regions Morgan Keegan Championships in Memphis in the early hours of Thursday in a battle of the giants.

John Higgins tackles Dave Harold today in the Wyldescrest Welsh Open with a quarter-final spot up for grabs. One of six matches at The Newport Centre, the world No.1 from Scotland is 4-11 with Sportingbet to see off Stoke man Harold (13-5, Boylesports). I revealed on Monday my money was going on Higgins to retain his title. He was widely […]

JOHN HIGGINS began the defence of his Wyldecrest Welsh Open crown yesterday with a victory but the Scot was pushed right to the wire by newcomer Jack Lisowski. Three-time world champion Higgins beat the 19-year-old tour debutant from England 4-3 to set up a last-16 meeting with another Englishman, Dave Harold. My money will go on the Wizard of Wishaw […]

THE 2011 tennis season, like the career of Milos Raonic, is still in its infancy but that hasn’t stopped the Canadian youngster storming up the ATP rankings. Raonic, 20, captured his first major title on Sunday, the ATP250 SAP Open in San Jose, with a 7-6(6) 7-6(5) victory over world No.9 Fernando Verdasco of Spain, becoming the first player from […]

Robin Soderling remained on course to retain the ATP 500 World Tennis Tournament in Rotterdam with a straight-sets victory over Mikhail Youzhny on Friday. He tackles Serb Viktor Troicki in the semi-finals after he upset the odds with a win over Croat Marin Cilic. But Soderling, of course, is the champion and it’s difficult to see the world No.4 being […]
